It is incomplete. Valve will not ban it, I'm using nothing from the leaked version. (not even as reference)

You finished it jkruse05? How on earth did you finish it? I wandered around aimlessly for 10 minutes (WALKING, mind you) only to jump off the edge of the map (an area I knew I shouldn't be in) and into part of the water that meets with the sky box. chineseroom, you really need to work on guiding the player through the environments a LOT better. Also play test it. Don't expect players to know ANYTHING about where to go or what to do. You have to tell them. And I don't mean literally "tell" them, I mean hint to them using visual clues. When play testing, do what you don't expect the player to do, like try to get out of the level (as I accidentally did). My biggest recommendation: there are plenty of Level Design books on amazon, please buy one.

Critically speaking, the body is disproportionate, at least for the typical human form. The arms are too short and the legs are also stubby (fat) and a little too short. If you make the pectorals stand out more the model wouldn't look so slouchy.

Also, in general this model seems to be a little more bulky than the original Nano Suit and therefore looks more like an OLDER nano suit. Newer things are usually more slim and trim (because technology becomes more efficient and there is less need for space.
I suggest simplifying it more (making it more like a second skin than a suit). If you don't want to change this suit design, then I suggest you either call it an older version nano suit or call it something entirely different--maybe it's not a Nano Suit at all.
Hope that helps.

nice, but one critisicm: the weapons look like they are made of concrete where they should have metal. I don't care how long ago it was, if the tools have these handles and everything it should look more like metal (because it is).
again, nice though, just need a change in texture and/or bump map.

I like the texture for the rock wall. It's smoothness makes it look cartoony (or anime-y).

Interesting discussions. I'm surprised there aren't more comments on this!

Good points were raised and some things that were said are really worth remembering.

lol, kind of strange video, but the game looks nice.
I really like how you can see the beams of light in the air coming from the flash lights.
The mood for the lvls is nice too.
